The FIrcmen serenade the Old and
New City Officers.

Last night at 1880 the entire fire dc.
partmcnt under the command of Chief
Kahn, headed by The Silver Star band,
left the engine house OH the corner OF
Commerce and Lamar, and visited the
various residences Of the mayor-clect,
mayor and aldermen and newly elect
ed aldermen, giving each hearty SER
enade. AT each place the recipient of
the honor appeared and made n speech
returning thanks for the honor, and in
many instances setting.out protnsion
of refreshments including wine and
cake. The fircmcn took with them
the ladder truck and one reel, LEAVING
one reel ana the engine at the engine
house.
The following calls were made: AL
dermen LouckX, Loeb, Rowley, DR..
Keller. Mitchell, Peterman, Welch, Hall
Bookhout, Mahony and DIR. Cochran,
Judge 7. j. A. Brown, VIC Conner
may elect, mayor John Henry Brown
and City Secretary w. L. Parry.
The reason that some of the alder
men were not visited in like manner
was on account Of sickness in their
families.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
drinks were set up pretty often the
men want the public to understand
that they drank sparingly, and some
did neither drink nor smoke.
The music, furnished by the Silver
Star Band, led by Prof. Putt, was pro-
nounccd very fine. This newly-organ-
lied band will come to the front
as one of the best in the State.

Receipt for Curing Pork.

To make pickle for bacon, hams
and shoulders For 10 pounds of
meat use 6 pounds Of the best salt,
4 ounces of salt-petre, and 8 pounds
of brown sugar. Pack the meat
snugly in a sweet cask, and cover
with this pickle. The same ingre-
dients may be mixed together and
rubbed on the flesh side of the meat.
The meat must be piled together
and rubbed every other day with
the mixture until it is all absorbed.
In three weeks smoke the dry-salted
and in six weeks that in the pickle.
Smoke until it is colored light or
dark chestnut, accordidg to state.
Use hard work or corncobs to make
the smoke. Dry-salting is the most
economical, and is just as good if
well done, as curing in the pickle.
Meat cured by this recipe is ready
for cooking without freshening. If
the hams and bacon are to be kept
a long time add one pound more of
salt. If a sweet taste is desired, use
more sugar. Molasses does Just as
we'll. The animal heat should be
thoroughly out of the meat before
curing is attempted, and great care
should be taken that there is no
frost in the meat.--F. D. Curtis.

A CHRISTMAS HYMN.


ALFRED DOMErf.
1t was the calm and silent night
Seven hundred years and fiftv-three
Had Rome been growing up TO might
And now was queen of earth and sea.
No sound was heard Of clashing wars,
Peace brooded Ger the hushed domain;
Apollo, Pallas, Jove, and Mars,
Held undisturbed their ancient reign
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
Twas in the calm and silent night,
The senator of haughty Rome,
Impatient urged his chariots's flight
From lordly revel rolling home;
Triumphal arches, cleaning, swell
Ills breast with thoughts of boundless
sway;
What recked the Roman what befell
\ paltry province far away,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago?
Within that province far away
Went plodding home weary boor:
A streak Of light before him lay,
Fallen through balf-shut stable door
Across his path. He passed, for nFught
Told what was going on Within
How keen the stars, his only thought
The air, how calm, and cold and thin
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
o strange indifference low and high
Drowsed over common joys and cares;
The earth was still, but knew not why
The world was listening unawares. ~
How calm a moment may precede
One that shall thrill the world forever /!
To that moment, none would heed,
Mans doomed was linked, no more to
sever,
In the solemn midnight
Centuries ago.
1t is the calm and silent night!
A thousand bells ring out, and throw
Their joyous peals abroad, and smite
The darkness-charmed and holy now!
The night that erst no name had worm
To il happy name is given;
For in that stable lay, newborn,
The peaceful Prince of earth and
heaven,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!

MEG'S DELIVERANCE.
BY NJ. L. H0LAHAN.

"Ye lazy, good-fur-nuthin', owl
eyed vagabond y fairly shrieked the
hideous old hag into poor Meg's ear.
can that is my thanks fur raising
ye up! That is the thanks l gets
fur giving ye Il livin' and schoolin',
whin might a let We die in the gut
ter along o yer worthless fool o a
mother.
Il wish you had-oh, how l wish
you hadw broke in the girl, YEARLY;
but in the passionless calm of de-
spair
"But you were not merciful
enough for that You wanted me
to live, that you might beat, scold,
and make out of me a thief like
yourselfw
The woman's bleared eyes glared
upon her, full of furious hate. A
moment she remained silent under
the white heat Of passion.
Could she never conquer this girl,
who stood there slim as hazel wand?
How dared she look upon her with
those great, proud, scornful eyes, as
if she, her grandmother, were very
dirt under her feet p Even the tat
tered rags of her attire could not
quite hide the natural grace and
beauty, which maddened the old
woman's eyes.
1t was 50 like the magnificent
beauty of her father-the man who
had secretly married her grand
daughter, and after a few weeks de-
serted her and the unborn babe.
At its birth the mother had died,
broken-hoarted but the babe lived
despite all her hate and beatings
lived to wonder wearily why she
had, and to wish a thousand times
every day that she had not.
"Yc-ye brat hissod the hag,
springing toward her with the fury
ofa tigress, whether ye like it or
not, We will marry Dick Daly-an'
that tomorrow, me fine lady. Will
ye ever agin rise up ter call me thief
in my teeth ?"
One fang alone adorned her gums
and the ludicrous side of the ques-
ton drew a wan, scornful smile from
Meg Carruth.
Poor child! Seventeen years pass
ed in abuse, neglect, and stormy
tears had not yet killed the refined
sarcasm of her nature-nor yet the
nobility which made her shrink
from this old beldame's vulgar cru
city.
"To the woman's fury that smile
added fuel.
"Ye jade" she cried, clawing and
striking her victim. "Mock me will
ye? Take that, and that, and that,
and"
"Hold on there, my friend cried
a stern, rich voice, and the woman's
uplifted hand was caught in an iron
grasp. How dare you beat a young
girl in this inhuman flshion?"
Meg lifted her beautiful eyes to
the face of her deliverer, then crept
deeper back in the shadowy old cab
in, the better to hide her shame and
horrible rags.
For the face she encountered was
not only full of strong, tender pity,
but strangely handsome and noble !;
the face Of a gentleman such as she
had dreamt of, surely, and through
her passionate, represscd heart shot
wild thrill.

Mrs. Burch bad hardly fallen when three
more shots were heard in rapid succession.
They were heard by Detective stanton, who
was on "a MOntgOmery.Strc car, and
LIE ran to the house. He found the dead
body Of Burch lying on the floor. Blood
was flowing from three places. He had
fred one shot in his mouth, one in the left

Charlie, Burch was married about eleven

wife bad taken Sl1 out Of his pocket and

his crime, put an end 10 himself. Burch
had been on the police force about three
years, and had always been considered a
good cfffpr
